Sacrilege, Hank! Next thing, you'll suggest players wear color at Wimbledon.

Less boring because there are more players and there is a lot of stuff to do whereas tennis has two players doing the same thing over and over. Baseball is boring but nearly to the extent tennis is

I feel the same way about the men's curling. All that shouting--really! I'll never understand why they have to wear mikes. You're right. Tennis is boring. But what about baseball?

Hank, Hank, Hank,

Writers, above all people, should love tennis. A match has a well-structured beginning, middle and end divided into three, four or five acts, depending on the tournament.

There is a protagonist and an opposition character. There are setups and payoffs, plot twists and subplots.

I do agree that something needs to be done about the unreliable narrators in the commentators' booth.

Sorry, Calvin. It's incredible boring. Two people hit a ball back and forth endlessly. The players are boring and so are the announcers.
